    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    By Bouargh

    Blog entries pass and sometimes look like very similar to some previous ones. It is one of the issues when dealing with army building on base of multiples buy outs of the same Patrol Box...   Yet we might eventually expect some variation if the models are fitted in different fashion, ain´t we?   The Onagre DuneCrawler as already been spoiled in the FOrums, but it has been the major progress of the past week so I will "proudly" republish it there. It is also an unhonorable  wa

    Dakota Minor Defence Corps (PDF)

    By Mike Zulu

    Introduction Like many established Imperium worlds, Dakota Minor has a planetary defence force simply known the Dakota Minor Defence Corps (or DMDC). Most of its number are conscripted from the local population; a small number of citizens willingly join to escape the tedium of farm life that is prevalent on Dakota Minor. The DMDC is organised in a manner similar to Astra Militarum regiments, albeit more limited in their makeup. For the most part, it consists of dozens of infantry battalions

Call to Arms 2025: Week 1

Okay, a day late, but I'm here now and that's what counts!   So, my intention was to go box by box, which meant that the Hormagaunts and Barbagaunts were up first.   This started with a healthy drybrushing of white scars white, like this happy chap      Then, it was time to make things green. I settled for doing 5 Hormagaunts at a time, till they were all the same: (Okay, so all 20 weren't pictured, but they were done!)   With the bas

"I am not corrupt," shouted Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom as she stood up.             Quickly standing each of the warriors rose with weapons in hand.  The Grey Knight Paladin's halbred began to glow, Captain Rey Rojo drew his special issue deathwatch bolter, Palatine Nataliea Harrow and Tempestor Prime Lonzo Wilkinson upholstered their plasma pistols the coils beginning to glow orange , the Frateris bodyguard activated their chainblades, and Celestian Sacrescent Bodyguards charged

"So as everyone is here, it is time to begin," said Inquisitor Lord Gregor Von Hal.      "Since it is your world, Governor Corvin Augulant, tell us what you know about the situation on Khymara Prime," asked Inquisitor Lord Von Hal.      "Our last report, the Adeptus Arbites, have reported multiple incidents of mysterious military grade incendiary devices used in building ruins, source unknown. The Local Enforcers have reported multiple encounters of extremely violent gang fig

"Distinguish guests, please allow me to introduce, Astropath Varne Eckza, Commissar Kiera Lynx, Primaris Psyker Sasha Checkik," announced Trusted Acolyte Bella Ezriciore, as red robed figure entered the room walking with a cane, along with, a blonde female in black coat, hat, with a saber on her hip and a bald female, walking with a staff, in black jacket and black fatigues, and a silver psychic hood.        Astropath Eckza sat next to Ship Captain Augustius Samic, while Commissar Lynx

Vererable Brother Akheron - the 'Unyeilding'

"…and here we have not only a great example of the work you must undertake in order to keep our Chapter at fighting capacity, but an exemplar of our Chapter’s values.  This is Venerable Brother Akheron – now, you may have heard amongst some of our Brothers who have bestowed upon him the title the 'Illfortuned'.  From his first engagement as a line Intercessor – fighting to drive the Orks from our home Sector, where he lost an arm and leg to a crude Greenskin mechanised suit, it is true he has su

Call to Arms 2025: Building a Monster

Firstly, apologies for the radio silence since my last blog, which was also the first in a long while. Life is hectic and depression looms large.   Secondly, this was supposed to be up last night (Call to Arms Eve) but as I don't normally post progress reports till a week after, I figured it was okay.   I briefly mentioned my intent to magnetise a hive tyrant for the event, the centrepiece of my vow, and really, the whole army at this point. So, how did I get on?

"Where's Mord," whispered Deputy Govenor Reeta Nirom to Governor Corvin Augulant.      They had been on the Heavy lander for about 2 hours. No information to where they were going, very little small talk or even why.  The flight had been smooth for a while. Governor Augulant scanned the room. There was a noticeable shaking of the Heavy lander.        " He was with us when we boarded. And where is Marshal Dylon, too" responded Governor Augulant.        The heavy lan

The Aquila Lander and Valkyrie hovered at massive hanger doors as they opened. Both flew into the hangar and landed as the door closed behind them. As the ramp dropped on both aircrafts, the passengers began disembarking. A massive heavy lift aircraft sat in the middle of the hanger, its cargo bay was open. Inside you can see Aquila Lander and 3 Valkyries class aircraft being secured. The Inquisitorial Aquilions began moving towards the massive aircraft. Load crews and servitors began moving the

MacFarlane figure Complete!

Finished the details of my MacFarlane figure that I'll be using for reference for painting the colour-shift style I'm going for with my chapter armour.  The figure was sprayed with Rust-Oleum "Cosmic Blue" Colour Shift rattle cans (with the correct undercoat), and everything else was hand painted with good old Citadel paints. The spray paint was... not great to work with to be honest: It was, and still is, very sticky, so I have to be careful what I was holding it with, and because it's col

Reinforcements inbound

Well Mikey's birthday was yesterday and he got some Baron of Dice Ultramarine dice, Inceptors, Aggressors, and Ancient. But the Eradicators "were" delivered but they were not in my mailbox or USPS did not leave the key for the lockbox...   My other son, Chris got his Combat Patrol Necrons so he has gotten closer to fielding an army but still a ways off.

The Iron Snakes take a trip into the past

It’s been a while since I last posted anything here. I’ve been quietly tinkering away on my Iron Snakes project in the background and managed to squeeze in a few games here and there. But honestly, I was finding it tough to stay motivated. I tried pushing through, but it slowly dawned on me that I wasn’t really enjoying the direction 9th and 10th edition 40k were heading. As awesome as the new Marine sculpts are, I much prefer the older aesthetic. Maybe that’s because of my rose-tinted glasses f

"How dare you," screamed Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom at the robed man.      "Colonel, I suggest you stand down immediately," calmly said the Black Armored figure standing next to the robed man holding a Hot-Shot lasgun aimed at her.       There was 20 of the Black Armored figures in the room. All carrying Militarum Tempestus Scion style weapons. their eye glowed red, bone skull paint on their facemasks. No ranks, no ribbons, no markings at all. Their sudden appearance as they

The air was thick with lasbolt rounds from lasrifles, las pistols, multilaser off the chimera, auto rounds from autoguns and auto pistols, Heavy stubber rounds, solid slug rounds from the combat shotgun as the unknown assailants and the Vigilant squad 83 and Marshal Mat Dylon engaged each other. It felt like thirty minutes of combat had passed but it was less than 2 minutes since the gunfight had started.       "Vigilant Phard, I know your busy, with this gunfight, but anything on Comm

Mord has known Corvin Augulant since they were kids and have been friends since then. While Corvin left for to the PDF, Mord went into the family business. Eventually Corvin took over as Planetary Governor and saw his old friend, Mord, he

Iron Hands Rhino

I have finished up a 5th rhino for my Iron Hands:    I've gone with a different dozer blade and a havoc launcher on this one as it is for the Graviton Shredder Support Squad so it stands out and I don't lose track of them. The Havoc Launcher provides a bit of anti-infantry firepower to a squad which is very anti-tank focussed. As I can only run the Graviton Shredder squad in a Head of the Gorgon list, this will only get a run out then (unless I buy some plasma guns or something t

Jetbike Command Squad

I finally finished my jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands using the now OOP Iron Hands Mark III Torsos, Shoulder Pads, and Heads:    Their weapons and shields come from a variety of sources:  1. The power maul on the left model as you look at the photo is from the new 30k melee weapons upgrade set.  2. The power fists are from the Mark IV kit.  3. The banner is from the old Cadian Command Squad with the detailing filed off and a brass rod as the banner pole.

Land Raider Proteus

I have also assembled and started painting a Land Raider Proteus fto carry around my Gorgon Terminators (this is the only shot I have of it right now). The Cataphractii Terminators will be in the Phobos so I won't forget which unit is in which transport on the tabletop.    I have to say this is a much nicer kit to put together than the Phobos Land Raider, the parts just fit together much better. I have started painting and will post a photo of the progress soon.

Militia Discipline Master

I have kitbashed up a discipline master for the militia, this guy is made up of 3d printed legs (I do not know the STL I got them from a friend), the laspistol arm from the now OOP Krieg HQ command squad, a closed greatcoat torso, veteran beret head and power axe (all from Anvil), and the Scion coat.      I have had to greenstuff the waist joint a bit as the 3d printed legs were slightly larger than Anvil or old GW Cadian legs but it is not noticeable now that the model has

Marshal Mat Dylon of the Adeptus Arbites 8th Precinct on Khymara Prime sat in the transport area of the wheeled Chimera. Vigilant Squad 83 sat with him. Vigilant Proctor Yin Pliskec was sitting across from Marshal Mat Dylon, his winged helmet on his lap. His black armor, while normally shiny, was showing some damage from a recent encounter against a gang ambush, as was the entire squad. Dented and scarred armour, green fatigues torn.  Vigilant Proctor Pliskec shaved head had beads of sweat rolli
